| This reminds me the stories my grandfather told me about Rock and Roll
What next? Violent Movies? Books? Its entertainment, there is no reason to ban video games just because they are violent.
Kids playing them war games? Thats a case of bad parenting, its just like taking your kids to watch the latest SAW, its completely the parents fault. |

Spot on mate.
As for the article, Im not too suprised considering how the ESRB act. Thank God we have the PEGI rating system. |

Exactly, why ban violent games because bad parents let 7 year olds play them? |

Yeah, I'll list whats bad so some people can stop complaining.
Highest age rating is 15 so ultra violent games are banned
Inconsistent bannings, such as L4D2 being censored and God of War 3 being passed through uncensored
RRP for a standard game is $120 AUD
Special Editions range from $150-$200 (My Halo Reach Legendary is $210)
Consoles and accessories have around a 50% mark up from US Prices (PS3=$500)
We have no features on XBL and PSN, only got video marketplace early this year.
So yeah, next time, if you think about complaining, thing about what others go through. |
